Mentored Education for Dissemination and Implementation Science (MEDIS) Program

摘要 慢性病是美国死亡和残疾的主要原因，并有能力 使美国医疗体系破产，这是美国每年3.3万亿美元医疗保健成本的驱动力。 慢性病负担方面的差异在某些人群中也很明显(例如，种族/民族 少数群体、社会经济地位较低的个人)。行为和社会科学研究(BSSR) 在背景下针对生活方式风险因素可以成功地降低慢性病发病率和死亡率。 传播与实施学(D&I)的目标是缩短从发现到翻译的差距 循证干预在现实世界社区和临床环境中造福人群的影响 健康。 培训D&I领域的下一代研究人员将促进采用BSSR和 能够有效预防和管理慢性病的干预措施。为了解决这一优先事项，本R25 APPLICATION提出了一项创新的教育计划，名为面向传播的辅导教育 和实施科学(MEDIS)，它将通过为研究人员提供 通过每年提供的为期5天的暑期短期课程，并结合 通过持续的指导来加强学习。MEDIS具有重要意义，因为它将促进BSSR的研发 存在循证干预措施但尚未普遍应用的现实世界环境，以及 如果广泛采用这一知识，大幅降低慢性病发病率和死亡率是可行的 练习一下。 本申请的具体目标是： 1.实施MEDIS以培训研究人员(研究员)，以促进BSSR在社区范围内的开发和创新 和临床环境，以消除慢性病差异。为了实现目标1，我们将：a)实施 招聘计划，以确定高素质的不同研究员人才库；b)培训学院导师并使其匹配 与研究员一起培养研发和创新研究方面的持续指导；以及c)为研究员举办暑期课程，以 培养研发人员在研发方面的能力。 2.评估MEDIS并跟踪研究员的职业发展。为达到目标2，我们将：a)评估 获得D&I相关能力、指导和职业发展方面的研究员；以及b)评估 讲演的相关性和质量，以及指导能力。 3.积极宣传医学和信息系统的组成部分，并支持研究员在其 与机构和社区合作伙伴之间的合作。为实现目标3，我们将：a)确定主要受众 这些活动包括：(A)宣传；(B)积极宣传；(C)为研究员开发培训员培训模块。

Abstract Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, and have the capacity to bankrupt the American healthcare system as drivers of the nation's $3.3 trillion in annual health care costs. Disparities in the burden of chronic disease are also evident among certain populations (e.g., racial/ethnic minority groups, individuals of lower socioeconomic status). Behavioral and social science research (BSSR) targeting lifestyle risk factors within context can successfully reduce chronic disease morbidity and mortality. The science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) aims to shorten the translation gap from discovery to impact of evidence-based interventions in real world community and clinical settings to benefit population health. Training the next generation of researchers in the field D&I will improve the adoption of BSSR and interventions that can effectively prevent and manage chronic disease. To address this priority, this R25 application proposes an innovative educational program entitled Mentored Education for Dissemination and Implementation Science (MEDIS), which will address a cross cutting need by providing researchers with advanced training in D&I competencies through a 5-day Summer short course offered annually, and combined with ongoing mentorship to enhance learning. MEDIS is significant because it will promote the D&I of BSSR in real world settings where evidence-based interventions exist but are not yet commonly applied, and where a large reduction in chronic disease morbidity and mortality is feasible if this knowledge was widely taken up into practice. The specific aims of this application are to: 1. Implement MEDIS to train researchers (Fellows) to facilitate the D&I of BSSR in the context of community and clinical settings to eliminate chronic disease disparities. To accomplish aim 1, we will: a) Implement a recruitment plan to identify a high-quality pool of diverse Fellows; b) Train Faculty mentors and match them with Fellows to foster ongoing mentoring in D&I research; and c) Conduct a Summer Course for Fellows to build competency in D&I research. 2. Evaluate MEDIS and track Fellows' career development. To accomplish aim 2, we will: a) Evaluate the Fellows in achieving D&I-related competencies, mentoring, and career progress; and b) Evaluate the Faculty for relevance and quality of presentations and mentoring ability. 3. Actively disseminate MEDIS components and support Fellows in capacity building activities at their institutions and with community partners. To accomplish aim 3, we will: a) Identify key audiences for dissemination; b) Conduct active dissemination; and c) Develop a train-the-trainer module for Fellows.
